Fox & Friends (Lieberman may caucus with the GOP)
3 November 2006 | Erik Latranyi

Posted on 11/03/2006 4:09:45 AM PST by Erik Latranyi

Fox & Friends this morning are reporting that Lieberman may caucus with the GOP if he wins re-election to the Senate from Connecticut as an Independent.

This may be the reason why Bush and many prominent Republicans are singing the praises of Senator Joe Lieberman.

Did you hear the story about how Congressman Rush Holt (D-NJ) is trying, this week, to eliminate the program where military voters overseas were going to cast their votes by secure e-mail? If Holt is successful in having this programmed stopped, there will be no way for military voters to get absentee ballots in time, and it will be impossible for the soldiers to vote in this election.

It's a darn good thing you are not running the effort to retain control and protection of our country. He voted to support the Military and the War and that is enough right now to help him defeat someone (lament) that is so far to the left that he lines up with buchanan on the right!

Socialist Joe is not a strong on national security as you think. He voted against the secure fence act because he wanted to attach an amendment to the bill that would give illegal aliens what is tantamount to amnesty through the "Guest Worker" program. Any number of illegal aliens could very well be terrorists. He has publicly stated he wants the Democrats to take control of Congress. We all know what a disaster that would be for our national security. If he wins and the Dems take control of Congress then you will have won the battle but lost the war, figuratively and literally. A vote for Socialist Joe could weaken our national security.

It seems Pat Buchanan was right:

In short, The Weekly Standard wishes to see, on a Republican ticket and a heartbeat away from the presidency, a proud liberal Democrat who supports partial-birth abortion, embryonic stem-cell research, gay rights, affirmative action, reparations for slavery, gun control, higher taxes on the top 2 percent, distribution of condoms in public schools and driver's licenses for illegal aliens.

What does Joe oppose? School prayer, the American Legion's flag amendment, Sam Alito, drilling in the ANWAR and any phase-out of death taxes.

Last year, Joe's rating by Americans for Democratic Action was 80. The ACLU gave him an 83, the NAACP an 85, the AFL-CIO a 92, LULAC a perfect 100. In 2004, Joe got a 100 rating from the National Abortion Rights Action League and a zero from National Right to Life. His American Conservative Union rating was zero. His Christian Coalition rating was zero. The National Rifle Association, which grades by letters, gave Joe a big, fat "F."

But as long as you support war in Lebanon, war in Iraq and a "war-fighting Republican Party," in The Weekly Standard's phrase, you get a pass on everything else. Beat the drum for permanent war for global democracy and against Islamo-fascism, and all other sins are forgiven you.

Well, if we aren't secure, we won't get a chance to worry about the rest of it. That said, anyone who trusts Lieberman and any of the RINOs needs his/her head examined.

Using the word "right" and buchanan in the same sentence is wrong on more than one level.

"No they are not."

Yes, they are. I know because I am one. I vote 95% Conservative and the one issue that I don't, I am labeled a Liberal by Conservatives, therefore I am a Marxist?

Fact is, globalists who search for that egalitarian society are different then someone who doesn't give a squat whether gays marry.

Is this hearsay or based on concrete evidence?

Pat Buchanan is right more often than Joe Lieberman.

It wouldn't be any more disingenuous than having Lincoln Chafee caucus with the GOP.

This is just a vote getting tactic.

Time to cue the old hyphen statement adding Lieberman's new status: Independent-Republican.

Yes, there is a difference between being a political opponent like Lieberman, and being a traitor like Lamont. In Connecticut, those are effectively the only available choices.

I wouldn't doubt it. Should be interesting to see what all those Democrats who stabbed him in the back just to support a moonbat like Lamont do. No matter what happens after election day.

The people who turned out to vote for Joe are obviously smarter than the national Democrats for supporting someone like Lamont.
